Leeds take on Forest in the Championship encounter at the City Ground aiming to extend their run of two consecutive wins, following the win at Luton and the notable 2-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday last weekend.

Leeds legend Ian Harte, who is Denton’s agent, had called on the club to give the youngster a new long-term contract earlier in the week.

The left-back produced a scintillating display on his debut in midweek, scoring the winner against Luton with a superb curling effort from the edge of the area.

Signing for Leeds at just seven, Denton is the latest example of Leeds’ esteemed academy after captaining the under-21 side. The left-footer can also play in central-midfield.

Leeds manager Garry Monk drafted him into the senior squad in pre-season and Denton has been given the number 33 shirt for the season.
